Disability payments stopped unexpectedly despite approval - EDD paperwork nightmare

Ugh, classic bureaucracy nonsense. I've been there, and it's so frustrating. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes that's the only way to get things moving.

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in there system and my paperwork got 'lost'. Keep calling and don't give up!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and paperwork submissions. 2. Contact your local state representative or senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these issues. 3. If you're really in a bind, consider reaching out to local media. Sometimes public pressure can work wonders. 4. Check if there's an ombudsman office for the disability agency. They can often cut through red tape. 5. Don't forget to ask about retroactive payments once it's resolved. You're entitled to that money. 6. If all else fails, consider consulting with a disability rights attorney. Many offer free consultations. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system can be a nightmare, but don't give up. Your benefits are your right!

have you checked your online account? sometimes they post updates there that dont make it to snail mail

OMG I'm literally dealing with the exact same thing rn. It's like they WANT us to suffer or smthn 🤬

Not to be that guy, but have you double-checked that you sent in ALL the required paperwork? They can be real sticklers about that stuff.

This is why we need major reform in the disability benefits system. It's a disgrace how they treat people who are already struggling. 😤

Have you considered reaching out to a disability advocate? They can sometimes work miracles with this stuff.
